An abstract representation of the Electoral College process. The image shows a large map of the United States, divided into its various state shapes, each marked with distinct colors. Insert symbols of a traditional ballot box, a pair of indistinct figures meant to represent nominees (with no identifying features to signify any specific individuals), representation of electors as smaller abstract figures, and subtly incorporated elements of charts or graphs that indicate voting results.
